Newhouse School students picked up seven honors in this year’s Broadcast Education Association (BEA) On-Location Creative Competition.
The awards announced Thursday included a pair of Best of Show honors for Newhouse Sports Media Center students and the lone Interactive Multimedia award for The NewsHouse’s “Infodemic,” a reporting project that included more than 30 stories packaged with photos, videos, illustrations, audio, data visualizations and other interactive media.
